I'll be playing till cyberpunk 2077 comes out, then I may play here or there. Here's hoping they take gameplay a little more seriously for next year and elevate this a step closer to e-sport quality. There's a lot of good stuff to like here honestly. But for online ranked play you can't have the secret sauce, RNG, network issues, or whatever you want to call it type shenanigans that seem to run rampant.
Right !!! That's all I'm saying is just make it a true competitive experience. If someone straight up outplays me and is better than me I have absolutely no issues playing a full 9 inning game and taking my L. When you know you've been playing better than someone....and they have an actual way to look it up while you're playing the game and you're giving up HR's on that [censored]. well that isn't fun at all.
I think the only way to do this is to maybe have a separate competitive league with dedicated servers that you pay a little more for but also gives you more perks or prizes. This way you're avg. player in the 200's-400's has their experience and when you want to play more competitively you have that option.

The game is just not fun anymore. Ranked seasons is a complete joke. Just played a game where I was losing 4-0 off of HR's that were PCI's of 11/11/11/12.
The guys was several games under .500 and was batting below .250 with over half his lineup.
Meanwhile I get to lineout and groundout on and hit warning track shots with 15/14 PCI's. It just isn't fun when people get rewarded for consistently bad gameplay and you're doing everything that you are supposed to to win the game.
Anyone else about fed up and done with it ?
Dude you are having the exact same experience I am. Just be careful the little kids get real upset at the mere suggestion of flaws in this game. Apparently they own a lot of stock in SDS.

I am with you. This year's gameplay is the worst it's ever been, including 18. Content is amazing but I just don't enjoy playing anymore, especially online. What you described is the norm for me. Hitting is completely random and feels skewed to one side or the other. Pitching is horrendous. I feel like the only control I have on pitching is which pitch to throw. Using pure analog, I will consistently have perfect input and have the ball go over the middle of the plate or be completely wild. This game is usually the only one I play and I am finding myself putting in only a couple hours per week now. It's strange to me because SDS has listened to the fanbase in so many ways and each year, the main cries are for them to make user input matter more but year after year it matters less and less.

I'm pretty much done, but its more burnout than frustration.

I had like 5 instances where the "see you tomorrow" guy was right and I went back to RS after declaring I was done.
Last week I officially had it and haven't even come close to loading up a game. The only reason I'm even on the forums it so see if TA 4 drops since I want to cash in on my investments and just lock stuff in for fun.
I'm proud of my RS record as a first year player, but I won't be buying the Show 21 until I see if the RNG gets toned down (which I'm sure it won't).
Just a pathetic excuse for online gameplay by SDS (SDS = SuckyDevelopersStink)
tl;dr - Quit for real, its worth it!

Is the game perfect? Definitely not. Is it a bad game? Also definitely not and if this defines a bad game to you then man you have been spoiled by video games.

Look who's back. The guy with a grand total of 30 RS games to tell us all we are wrong in his "expert" opinion. Ok Ramone we got it games awesome. Now run back to your cut and paste job for RNG the Troll 21

Didn't say I should never lose. I've lost 161 times in Ranked season. If you can't see the point of my post then I really don't value your input whatsoever. Keep defending the game and let's see where that gets us

i hate seeing whiners its such an unattractive quality in a person
we all lose, we all have bad streaks, its how you conduct yourself that determines who you are as a person
this game plays great sometimes, and it frustrates you at other times
theres a lot of emotional infants in this forum and its great to keep them in check

If there was any confusion as to the point of my post I will clear it up. It wasn't a post saying I should always win. It wasn't a post to say the other person deserved to lose. I have lost plenty at Ranked season and don't mind losing. But when you are trying to defend a game that allows 4 HR's on what I believe was bad PCI placement. 3 11's and a 12. (maybe a 12 Hr is justified every now and then) While you're doing pretty much everything you are supposed to to hit the ball. 14' /15's. Even a Perfect that was right at the 2B... It just isn't fun to play anymore and really it hasn't been for quite a while.

You're clearly young and have never played a game with an actual game breaking bug that makes you restart or games with bugs that literally make the game unplayable. Im not saying the game is a masterpiece. Im saying its not a steaming pile of trash like all of you guys seem to think

I play offline because I don't have the luxury of playing online uninterrupted for 45 minutes. I was taking care of a family member earlier this year for a few mo ths before they passed away and am currently dealing with my own health problems. That is why I can't play ranked as much as I would like.

You're not worth the time. You call me a know it all when anyone that disagrees with you works for SDS. I can accept the shortcomings in the game but people like you can't accept that you lose so the game has to be trash.

Lol, so again you can't explain how you (an offline only player) know more about online play than everyone else on here. Gotcha kiddo

Because I played online at the beginning and play events because they are quick. That doesn't fit your narrative so your gonna come up with some other excuse about how I dont know what I'm talking about. Its ok, keep believing you should win everything. Also you insult me after I tell you I was taking care of a dying family member yet I'm the dbag? Enjoy being an [censored] buddy, not worth anymore of my time. One day when mommy and daddy aren't making your dinner and paying your bills you'll get it

Bottom line is, you aren’t as good as you think you are. Few of us are, my friend.
Sometimes the game rewards your opponent when their inputs aren’t great. Sometimes you aren’t rewarded with P/P. It happens.
The thing is, the really good players—the “goons”—can consistently get good inputs and can overcome their opponent four lucky homers.
Those of us who aren’t that consistent get all mad when our good inputs aren’t rewarded because we don’t got them frequently enough to overcome our opponent’s lucky streak.
Face it, bro. You’re probably a slightly above average player. That’s it. Accept that you’ll win some and you’ll lose some. You’ll hit a homer on 11 PCI placement and you’ll give up homers on the same.
I’m in the same boat as you. I’m about 175-98 or so in RS. Good enough to win more than I lose, but not even close to being a “goon.”
Accept your limitations in life and find joy where you are, in video games and elsewhere. Otherwise you’ll die miserable.
